Sixteen years ago, Paul Foerster and Kevin Burnham of the U.S. Olympic Sailing Team captured the gold medal in the Men's 470 at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens over the 27-boat fleet. Foerster, a four-time Olympian, and Burnham, a three-time Olympian, had both medaled in the Olympics before. In three prior trips to the Olympic Games ('88, '92 and '00), Foerster had won two silver medals in the Flying Dutchman ('92), and the 470 ('00). Burnham earned a silver in the Men's 470 class in 1992. Foerster and Burnham joined forces in pursuit of a gold medal in 2004 and the pair succeeded triumphantly. With the win, Burnham became the oldest gold medal winner of all Team USA athletes at the 2004 Games. Foerster and Burnham were named Rolex Yachtsman of the Year for their gold medal performance. Gary Jobson catches up with these Olympic champions to reflect on their historic win and learn more about how they are engaging with the sport of sailing today.
"Shallow draft is at the foundation of how we use our Hinckley. With only a few feet of water at our dock at low tide, a Talaria 43 MKII was the only boat that we could keep at our home. And this is where life aboard our Hinckley starts. Today we were able skim quickly across shallow areas without appendage anxiety to sneak ashore at this forgotten beach. We let the kids step off the swim platform and easily explore the beach; no one else would think of coming here, I can’t believe we’re the only ones here. Only on a Hinckley."
